Default Valentines Surprise!
My sneaky husband surprised me tonight with a new laptop & and its an amazing one at that with a TON of storage (1TB), 6GB ram, amazing graphic card, great stereo, giant 17" screen!

We have never really bought eachother much for valentines day then he just goes over the top with this surprise! We even talked the other day about not exchanging gifts to eachother ... he has been even shopping around when he was done school early & made up a story about his dads truck breaking down, then needing to help him. Then his parents have kept it at their house until tonight when Eric & the kids went there for dessert so i could get some stuff done around here.

My other laptop was on the brink of failing and has been sketchy for ages ... sometimes taking 45 minutes to start, overheating,super slow, dvd drive was broken, storage was pretty maxed out, and just the other week the hinge attaching the screen snapped.

I am so excited to get photoshop running on this one & have some fun!!

Wonderful gift! Even more amazing is the fact that you have been creating such great pages on a relic that took 45 minutes to boot up!

Thanks everyone - he is pretty awesome & thoughtful. This thing is fast & is really quiet compared to my other one! And i am really liking windows 7 vs vista.
